Hi Gang...
 
I'm new to this forum tho an old timer to the Sonar forum, so please go easy on me... I'll do my best to do "what it right"... ;-)
 
I'm having an issue with playback of burnt cd's... this has happened before, but it's worse this time and I really need to figure out what to do about this...
 
Right now I have an album with 16 tracks... when I master (In Sonar) I make sure to leave some lead time (some milliseconds) prior to first note to allow players to open the file without cutting off the first note. I keep having this happen with DVD players (not cd players)...
 
All tracks are playing fine... Except for the last (16) which the first notes are cutoff when I play on the DVD player... same disc in a cd player works fine... My previous mix opened fine on the earlier disc I burnt... The remix of track 16 was only increasing the kick a touch and the song starts out with two guitars split stereo playing the same part...
 
No matter how much lead time I place on the front of this new mix continues to give me a clipped beginning on DVD players....
 
What's going on? How might I deal with this?
 
Thanks in advance for any ideas... I've made more coasters today than I have all year! <sigh>...

Have you checked it on another DVD player?  A few years back, I mastered a jazz CD that was going to be played on the local community college radio station.  It would not play on their "broadcast quality"  CD player.  We burned a number of discs using various software and formats.  It turned out that that particular CD player's spec were too tight and did allow for burned CD's.  Ultimately, the album was broadcast using DAT tape.  
 
Have you considered other things like error correction?  Perhaps there's a dropped bit in the file of track 16 that is corrected by the CD player while the DVD player is having trouble with it.  Maybe if you save the file under a new name and use the new file that might fix things.  
 
Good luck.
